Red's Seaside Grill is based in Fords Cove on beautiful Hornby Island. I feel a little guilty…read moretelling the world about this place, as part of its charm is its remote setting and local clientele, but alas, the food was so tasty I feel it a crime against Red himself not to spread the word. Red's is based in a store that looks like a wooden fishing boat, very cute. Red himself and his serving staff have genuine island hospitality, and the fish is so fresh I think it almost leapt from my hands and back into its watery home, situated mere steps from the restaurant. All of the seating is outside and the view of Fords Cove is stunning. I recommend getting your "f&c's" to go and walk around the coast a few minutes over the sandstone to find a spot to watch the fishing boats cruise by. My halibut and chips were amazingly fresh with light crispy batter and the onion rings are KILLER -chunky and crispy with sweet onion with that x-factor that only comes with homemade goods. The condiment stand was packed with everything you need - vinegar, ketchup, sweet green relish, mustard....the list goes on. Red's knows how serve up island style food - honest, delicious and made with love.

Great fish & chips. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Expect a ten minute wait on average, but…read morethey'll yell out your name if you've gone for a walk (we usually wander down the dock to look at all the boats). To fully enjoy your meal, load up on the bounty of condiments and find a place to sit among the rocks along the water of Ford's Cove. (Note: Rumor has it that Red's is going to close this location by next year and open one closer to the Bakery or the Co-op. Hopefully they'll just add a 2nd location??)

The fish was also not super greasy which will be easier on my stomach. The fish was also nice and crispy! The coleslaw tasted nice and fresh with a light vinaigrette dressing. I wish the coleslaw had a more creamy sauce. But if u like vinaigrette coleslaw, then u will love this coleslaw. They have a huge menu that i will have to explore sometime. Service was amazing. Super friendly staff and extra tartar sauce was no extra charge! Ambiance was nice and relaxing. There are a few outside benches to provide a nice camp feel. The benches were clean for the most part with maybe a few crumbs but majority of it was clean. Pricing is reasonable and definitely worth the quality. It was around $20-$30 a person I would rate the fish and chips 5/5 and the coleslaw a 3/5.

It feels like a family business that has been around. We ordered seafood pasta, fried oysters burger, a bucket of mussels, a captain's platter. The portions were super big. I was glad we ordered only 5 dishes and it was more than enough for the 6 of us. I found about 7 unopened mussels from the bucket and I told the server about it. She acknowledged it and went back to the kitchen. They came back with almost another full bucket for us. I told them I wasn't expecting this and it was more than we asked for. They wanted us to have more, It shows that they care and are honest people. The food was great. My husband raved about the pasta and the giant scallops in it. My son loved the fried shrimp and lung cod in his platter, the batter was light and you can taste good quality fish. It was overall a very good experience and much more than what we expected!
